Film Grain, Noise & What ISO Setting to Use (DVG 005)
Increasing the ISO setting on your camera makes your camera's sensor more sensitive to light.

In this episode I'll discuss ISO, which is the last of the three camera settings that impact the exposure triangle, and how it works. I'll also discuss the differences between film grain and camera noise, as well as how to add or remove each.
